Industry my arse update and other things
Posted by beynond on August 24, 2011
Hey goo, what’s new? (a bit of Cliff/Peter Reno to start things off)
Artwork for Industry My Arse is in the works, looks great at the moment, is probably near to launch upon the world soon, along with the teaser trailer, press pack and other bits.
Not long now … everybody’s patience will be rewarded.
Also have another Mancunian classic to add to the mix, courtesy of the legendary Steve Powell, 1986 Spanish co-production Ibiza Connection is a hell of a piece of work, although maybe not for reasons you’d expect …
(it also has a classic theme song sung by Cliff himself)
Porn ain’t a bad place to be
Oh yes. I’m writing something set in the Adult industry, and so have been doing my research. As well as all the recent comedies like Zack and Miri (surprisingly good) , I want Candy (ok but a bit of a mess), there are also some 70s and early 80s , er, classix that I’ve been watching too.
Angela the Fireworks Woman (directed by and featuring Wes Craven, although don’t worry he keeps his trousers on) is a pretty amazing film that seems ‘too good’ to be a porno, although that’s not right – lots of these 70s films were better than today’s mainstream movies.
The best of them have an underground/experimental feel, which Angela definitely does. You’d be surprised, although it’s pretty obvious that it was made by someone who was heading for the legit film industry. If you look around, you can find it …

And of course for anyone who doesn’t know.. Cliff Twemlow, the Manchester legend whose films are a big part of our documentary, also had a career writing production music for libraries like De Wolfe , under the name Peter Reno in the 70s. His music was used on tv shows such as the Sweeney and Crown Court , and maybe most famously, his song ”Cause I’m a man’ is featured in Romero’s original classic Dawn of the Dead,
